E-Mail message from David TOLLEFSON, grandson of Helga, to Eric DUCKERING on the 26th March 1999. (David.Tollefson@PSS.Boeing.com)

'Death in the Family. Just want you to know. Last night at 7.40 Helga DUCKERING took her last breath on earth. All of her daughters were present, along with a son-in-law (my father), two grandchildren, and a grandchild-in-law (Mary). Helga had been living at the Foss Home in north Seattle for the last 3 years or so, and was in total care. She had contracted the flu earlier this week. She passed on with no pain and no fear. Today she is reunited with her husband and is dancing with the Lord.

Interestingly enough, the only grandchildren present were "in the business", if you know what I mean. Don't know if that says anything, just an interesting observation.

The occassion is especially difficult for Donnamae GFELLER (Helga's second daughter), as yesterday was the first anniversary of the death of her husband Alfred.

Funeral arrangements will be made today. We expect it to be Monday or Tuesday at Washelli in Seattle. I'll let you know where she is laid to rest (it will be next to Richard Elmhirst DUCKERING, but I don't remember where that is).

By the way, I don't know if you have the latest information on the births from about a year ago. I have two one-year-old nephews: David Matthew HUSON (born Oct 12, 1997, and Simeon Paul CONVERSE (born March 27, 1998).
